Join SAM curator, Aaron Rio, and UW professor, Mimi Chusid, for a conversation about the key role of pictures in navigating the processes of death and dying in premodern Japan. Centering on paintings associated with the Pure Land sects of Buddhism from SAM’s renowned collection of Japanese art, we will examine visions of hells and paradise, as well as explore notions of the afterlife and salvation.
